Lyrics
When panic grips your body and your heart is a hummingbird
Raven thoughts blacken your mind until you're breathing in reverse
And all your friends and sedatives mean well, but make it worse
Every reassurance just magnifies the doubt
Better find yourself a place to level out
I got a cricket for a conscience always looks the other way
A cocaine soul starts seeming like an empty cabaret
Hey, where have all the dancers gone? Now the music doesn't play
I tried to listen to the river, but you couldn't shut your mouth
Better find myself a place to level out
I never thought of running
But my feet just led the way
Mixed up signals (moving out)
Bullet train (I can't moving out)
Cars are switched out in the crazy rain
And I could meet you (moving out)
Any place if the Brakeman turns my way
All this automatic writing I have tried to understand
From a psychedelic angel who was tugging on my hand
It's an infinite coincidence, but it doesn't form a plan
So, I'm headed for New England or the Paris of the South
Gonna find myself somewhere to level out
Are your brothels full, oh Babylon, with merry Middlemen?
Never peer out of their periscopes from those deep opium dens
All this death must need a counterweight always someone born again
First a mother bathes her child, then the other way around
The Scales always find a way to level out
I tried to pass for nothing
But my dreams gave me away
Mixed up signals (moving out)
Bullet train (I can't moving out)
People snuffed out in the brutal rain
I could live to (moving out)
Any age if the Brakeman turns my way
And it's an old world, it's hard to remember
Like a dime store mystery
And I'm a repeat first time offender
Who has rewritten history
Mixed up tea leaves (moving out)
Phantom pain (can't moving out)
Fuzzy logic in the crazy rain
It's getting better (moving out)
Every day
If the Brakeman turns my way
Mixed up signals (moving out)
Call phantom pain (I can't moving out)
Cars are switched out in the blinding rain
He'll be smiling (moving out)
As he seals my fate (moving out)
When the Brakeman turns my way
